‘Guess that explains the little wrist ornament.’
The colonel nods. ‘These aren’t your ordinary run-of-the-mill handcuffs either, sir. The bracelet monitors my pulse. Should my heart stop beating, should the chain be severed, or the wrong access code entered, the contents of the briefcase would instantly incinerate from within.’
‘Well, since there’s no smoking permitted in my office, I guess I’d better enter the correct code.’ Chaney stands, leans over his desk, then carefully enters his access code on the briefcase’s security pad.
The locking mechanism deactivates, allowing the colonel to open the case.
McClellan removes a half-inch-thick computerized clipboard, sealed in plastic, and hands it to the president.
‘Thank you, Colonel. Now gentlemen, if you’ll give me a few minutes-’
‘Of course, sir.’ The colonel sits back in his chair.
Marvin just stares and grins.
The president sighs. He retrieves his reading glasses from his top desk drawer, then peels off the file’s plastic wrapper, enters his daily access code to the wafer-thin screen, and begins reading off the LED monitor.

PROGRESS REPORT ON SPECIAL ACCESS PROGRAM
GOLDEN FLEECE
21 January 2013
ORIGINS
1. On 14 December 2012, at approximately 14:30 hours, EST, an electromagnetic force field equivalent to several billion amperes activated across the entire globe, destroying more than 1,000 Russian ICBMs and SLBMs targeted for North America, effectively saving the United States. MAJESTIC teams traced the EM array to exotic crystalline biomemnetic devices serving as transformer nodes and relay junctures within and/or below ancient structures of Angkor Wat, the Great Pyramid of Giza, Stonehenge, the Pyramid of the Sun at Teotihuacan, Mexico, and under the complex at Tiahuanacu in Peru.
2. MAJESTIC teams were able to trace the common origin of the EM pulse to a vessel buried 217 feet beneath the Kukulcan Pyramid in Chichen Itza (Yucatan Peninsula). The EM pulse itself was transmitted to relay junctures by way of an antenna mast which morphed out of the vertical axis of the buried vessel and up through the core of the 1,000-year-old Mayan superstructure. This was later confirmed by Michael Gabriel and his female companion, Dominique Vazquez, who were able to access the vessel by way of a freshwater aquifer (cenote) located a mile north of the pyramid.
3. Michael Gabriel is the only child of archaeologists Julius and Maria Gabriel (both deceased), whose body of work centered upon the Mayan calendar and its doomsday prophecy, predicted for 21 December 2012. On 24 August 2001, Julius Gabriel presented 32 years of research at a Harvard symposium attended by rival (and future secretary of state) Pierre Robert Borgia, who verbally assaulted the professor, interrupting his speech. Julius Gabriel suffered a fatal heart attack, dying in the arms of his son and only child, Michael, who then attacked Borgia. The incident cost Borgia his right eye and landed Gabriel in a mental asylum in Massachusetts, where he would spend the next eleven years, most of it in solitary confinement. He was subsequently transferred to a facility in Miami in summer of 2012 where he fell under Florida State University intern/grad student Dominique Vazquez’s care. Ms. Vazquez subsequently aided Gabriel’s escape in early December of 2012.
4. On 21 December 2012, a ‘transdimensional’ extraterrestrial biological, appearing as a giant serpent, rose from its own buried vessel beneath the Chicxulub Crater, the (Gulf of Mexico) impact site of an asteroid-like object that struck Earth 65 million years ago. The biological immediately targeted the EM pulse originating from Chichen Itza, making its way to the site through a series of aquifers. U.S. Armed Forces were unable to stop the entity, which appeared to be existing on two dimensional planes at once. Michael Gabriel was able to deactivate the biological, using an energy beam originating from the antenna of the vessel buried beneath the Kukulcan Pyramid. Michael Gabriel then entered the triplex orifice of the entity. Both Gabriel and the biological subsequently disappeared. His status remains unknown.
GOLDEN FLEECE
5. Following the events of 21 December 2012, POTUS completed a new trade agreement with Mexico that included a private addendum placing Chichen Itza under U.S. jurisdiction. The public park was immediately shut down, security assigned to MAJESTIC-12 under the newly-formed GOLDEN FLEECE program. Project Director Dr. David Mohr (formerly of NASA) and exobiologist Marvin Teperman divided GOLDEN FLEECE personnel into the following independent programs.
SECURE amp; CAMOUFLAGE MAIN STRUCTURE:
Responsible for erecting a prefabricated camouflaged urethane shell resembling the exterior of the Kukulcan pyramid. On the night of 18 January 2013, the shell was set in place above the existing pyramid, thereby preventing discovery of subsequent GOLDEN FLEECE operations via satellite reconnaissance.
EXCAVATION-A:
Responsible for systematic removal, tagging, and storage of every stone used in the construction of the Kukulcan pyramid, overseen by Mexican archaeologists. Pyramid removal expected to be completed by 15 March 2013.
EXCAVATION-B:
Excavate access pit to buried vessel upon completion of Excavation-A.
EXCAVATION-C:
Access buried vessel via aquifer running beneath Kukulcan Pyramid. Underwater Assessment Team (UAT) made up of MAJESTIC-cleared personnel included laser physicists, theoretical physicists, metallurgists, aerospace engineers, psychiatric personnel, several noted neurophysiologists, and selected members of NASA’s Breakthrough Propulsion Physics (BPP) team. All UAT members SCUBA certified with at least 100 dive-hours.
EXCAVATION-C PRELIMINARY REPORT: EXTERIOR STRUCTURE
6. The burial vessel measures 722 feet long and is best described as ‘dagger-shaped,’ though this hardly begins to describe the vehicle. The forward hull tapers out like the front two-thirds of a surfboard and resembles the ‘Chine’ hull-form configuration similar to A-12 HABU (‘Blackbird’) style spy planes. The ‘Hilt’ starts out as a pronounced sphere, with large bulbous twin nacellelike structures that end in triangular vanes that enclose twin multichambered ‘exhausts’ located at the stern of the vessel. Smaller transverse thruster exhausts are located along the belly. Several engineers have theorized that the aerodynamic starship was configured to ‘surf’ an atmosphere or possibly even a hydrosphere in a manner similar to a ‘Waverider’ aerospace vehicle, but on a larger scale. The star cruiser’s enormous size rivals that of a medium to large cruise ship, with a design ‘cut’ that gives the impression of a warship. The keel is pronounced along the belly and is reminiscent of a Celtic warrior’s ribbed ax blade.
7. The burial vessel’s outer skin is described as a shimmering mirrorlike golden metal, composed of an ultrahard material, superior to diamond carbon. It cannot be cut using arc cutters or high-intensity lasers. It is resistant to heat and friction and is so smooth to the touch that it defies description. Although multiple panels can be distinguished (theorized as semi-translucent banks of solar cells) the hull, in fact, appears to have been constructed as one seamless integrated unit. Members of the BPP team theorized that the burial vessel’s entire hull could function as a magnetoaeroelectric propulsion and levitation system by tapping into the gravity well of a planet. The indigenous magnetic field of Earth or any planet with a heavy iron core would be sufficient to power such a mode of atmospheric propulsion, and, in fact, may have been the system used to power the Roswell flying wing spacecraft.
